View answerDetails of the cost of printing reports during 2008, by my Department, are contained in the following table. The table includes details of annual reports published and where identifiable, postage costs. It should be noted that the level of reports published will vary from year to year.
Reports produced by bodies operating under the aegis of my Department, are a day to day operational matter for those bodies and one in which I have no function.
